The White House has rejected another executive privilege request by former President Trump over documents sought by a House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

to block the Jan. 6 committee — seven Democrats and two Republican — from obtaining the first batch of documents from the archives. The lawsuit argues that the committee has no power of investigation and that therefore its subpoena is invalid. Trump also insisted that the records are protected by executive privilege.

The House committee requested documents in March and August from the archives that it said were related to the previous administration's actions before, during and after the January riot, when a group of Trump's supporters attacked the building in hope of blocking his electoral defeat. After those requests, Trump notified the archives that he was formally asserting executive privilege.

Biden, however, concluded that the privilege should not apply in this instance. Remus wrote in an Oct. 8 letter that the documents"shed light on events within the White House on and about January 6 and bear on the Select Committee's need to understand the facts underlying the most serious attack on the operations of the Federal government since the Civil War."

Biden administration officials have said they plan to consider the requests from the committee case by case.Dartunorro Clark

Traitors don't get privilege.

Good. There should not be any executive privilege in this case.

Good! Usually Democrats are too soft (from a life long Democrat).

Trump is not president anymore. He does not get “executive privilege” at this point, and certainly not to cover-up his part in treason.

The juvenile is on the floor, kicking his feet, pounding his fist on the floor! That is how he reacts when he doesn't get what he wants!

tRumpisaloser !!

Yes!!!

geoff9cow Does this mean that Biden has seen and read the documents himself?

Trump has a big problem, to have executive privilege you have to be the executive.

If you've read the thread below & more importantly, watched the NoOneUnscripted episodes, you aren’t at all surprised by the GOP’s seditious chaos. But in case you haven't, here it is. Just saying.

Lock him up!

And this…

GOOD

Huzzah!! To the jail with the scoundrel.
